Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire (2005): Eat My Gillyweed May 13, 2020

Show notes

On this week’s episode, the gang talks about the 4th installment in the Harry Potter franchise, and the guys who read the books hated it!

Topics include: the tent that’s better than the Weasley’s house, Dumbledore’s out of character freak out when Harry’s name is announced, magical condoms, screaming spiders, ghosts sexually assaulting students, awful plot omissions, and Mike Newell ruining one of the best books in the series.

Note: A few of the guys got a bit too drunk before recording, so the real plot of the film doesn’t start until the 10 minute mark!

Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) W/ Holden McNeely May 06, 2020

Show notes

Holden McNeely, cohost of Wizard And The Bruiser and Page 7 podcasts, joins the show to talk about wanting to wear Emma Thompson’s skin, lessons his grandmother taught him, and, of course, the 3rd Harry Potter film: The Prisoner of Azkaban!

Topics include: piles of dead kids on the quidditch pitch, spider night terrors, recreational drugs in the Wizarding World, Lupin giving Harry candy, Hermione being the real MVP of this film, and more.

Also, what would a real 13 year old do with an invisibility cloak, time travel machine, and a map that shows the whereabouts of everyone in the castle? Hint: it starts with "master" and ends with "bate." Why didn’t Lupin or Sirius take 5 seconds to tell the kids that they didn’t want to kill them? How could Lupin not know there was a full moon? And how about the irony of being a werewolf and having your last name translate to Wolf in Latin?

Also, Max shares a story about Emma Watson being teased at Brown and much more on an all new episode, so hide your kids because this show is about to get nasty.

TV/ Movie recommendations:

Bill- Firefly

Holden- Mrs America

Tim- Law & Order SUV…not SVU

Max- Rear Window

John- Ken Burn’s Country Music…actually all and any Ken Burns docs for that matter

Harry Potter And The Wu Tang 36 Chambers of Secrets (2002): You Can Call Me Greg Lockhart Apr 27, 2020

Show notes

In week 2 of our Harry Potter movie marathon, Max mispronounces half of the characters names, but who cares because there are so many things to playfully make fun of, such as:

Why can’t Harry lie to Dobby? He has no problem lying to all of his teachers! Why didn’t the Wizarding or Muggle World do anything about the prison bars on Harry’s windows? What is the vetting process for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position, and wouldn’t some of the students parents know that Lockhart is a phony?

Also, Bill thinks broccoli rabe is a person, a discussion on how the transformation class is actually an animal cruelty class, Tim shares his personal ginger thoughts on Ron , and more Sorting Hat harassment!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) Apr 21, 2020

Show notes

This week HMP is kicking off their epic 8 film mini series covering the Harry Potter movies!
The gang does a brief round table to see who read the books before they dig into the plot and discuss hot topic subjects like:
How did Hardy not turn into a serial killer? If Harry was such an important person, why didn’t they do anything about him being a prisoner in the Dursley’s house? What were they protecting the stone with prior to the mirror?
Also discussed: offensively revised Hogwarts house names, the stupid rules of Quiditch, Harry being an awful student, Dumbeldore being the real villain in the movie series, and the Wu Tang 36 chambers of magic.
All of this - including 90s Simpson’s references - and more. Get your Butterbeer ready; it’s Potter time!

Show notes

Timmy the Boy Wonder and super-fan of the Lethal Weapon series jumps in the captains chair to lead the show as the boys dive into the over the top 3rd chapter of the Riggs Murtaugh odyssey in Lethal Weapon 3!

What was up with Joe Pesci’s wig? Did they just trim the blonde one from JFK? Was the main villain Cliff from Cheers? Why was Rene Russo considered hot in the late 80’s and 90s? Which scar scene was sexier: Riggs and Lorna Cole or Quint and Hooper?

All of this, including axe puns, fair weather LA hockey fans, the proper way to deescalate a dog attack, and much more on an all new action packed Hold My Popcorn!
